Despite this impressive list, The Unbroken Circle gets a very rocky start with lukewarm efforts by Jones, Crow, Harris, and Johnny Cash. Jones and Cash sound fairly rough, and Harris ' outing, backed by the Peasall Sisters, is underwhelming. Unfortunately, she sings "No Depression in Heaven" as though she were auditioning for Freakwater

The legacy of the Carter Family is as relevant today as it was when their journey first began, which places them alongside the greatest of the greats in the pantheon of musical history. For the delicate task of paying proper homage to such figures, John Carter Cash stepped up to the plate as producer - his parents are none other than country legends Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash (daughter of founding member Mother Maybelle Carter). His pedigree alone bodes well for the project, and the fine job he's done with this tribute would make his kin proud
